I had a dream last night that I found a tiny tiger cub while I was staying at a college friend's house. While looking after him, he got away and I chased after him, because I was afraid he would wander into traffic. In order to save him, I had to climb down a huge sand berm onto a beach. As I was climbing, the berm turned into a tower of metallic garbage, and there were mean teenagers with catapults hurling rocks and trash at me, trying to knock me off. I finally defeated them by wrecking their catapult with a big rock. I got to the bottom and had to pretend to be a farm worker to "steal" the tiger cub back from a kind of factory where he was being kept in a tiny cage too small for him. What does all that mean? Serious answers only. No submoronic twaddle like "It means you're crazy."

It's difficult to fully interpret a dream but i will try!
The tiger cub may symbolise your 'wild' part of yourself - or your impulsiveness - which is still underdeveloped (is still a cub). You're afraid that you can't control it (the cub runs away) and you have to hold it in check (trying to get the cub back). But in order to keep it under control you have go through various 'tests' (mean teenagers throwing rocks and garbage at you) - they may symbolise internal conflicts - your teenage impulses (by the way, how old are you? vital detail!) want the 'wild' part of yourself to be free (and so destructive) so that is trying to distract you from getting your impulses under control.
The fact that you do succeed in getting the cub back is proof that you are controlling your impulses but at a cost: a small cage for a growing tiger cub is not too safe - don't ignore or deny our impulses; get to know them, examine them, get to know yourself and don't be afraid of who you are.
Hope this makes sense and that it helps.

Well, it depends how do You feel about the dream.... Were You agitated when You woke? Hectic? Full of energy?
The tiger symbolizes strength, but the fact that it was "a baby" can mean that You`re in control of something... Perhaps, You have some big thing You have to finish, and Your mind is telling You that You`ll have to work really hard for that (hence the obstacles), perhaps a touch or two by Your old fears (mean teenagers, etc.) But, Your subconsciousness is telling-Your on it. You have it. You`ll be the hero. And I think You`re accepting the fact, because in the end You achieve Your goal.
Perhaps, it only means You ate some heavy stuff.....

Think about what you were listening to, watching, or even talking about hours before you went to bed. Did you see a tiger cub? Maybe a picture of one? When we go to sleep our memory "throws out" all of the nonsense that we've either seen or heard about that day, storing all the important information in our brain. Just sounds like maybe you had seen or heard something related to a tiger, farm, teenagers, etc. Think about it....I'm sure it means nothing, just unimportant information your brain "threw out".

Some people believe that dreams have no meaning but I do and I love trying to figure out what they mean.
I think that your dream means, that your a caring person. You don't like social interactions with other people and tend to respond to your problems with violence. You may be having problems figuring what you want in your life, and maybe, I'm not sure about this one but think that you don't like noise and commotion.

well, I believe the tiger represented what you want to have in your future, The teens were your past adolecence. The wrecking of their attack was you defeating your fears your not mature. The rest I'm unsure. hope this helps.

Dreams are simply random electrical impulses that generate in your brain stem. The "movie" that you see when you dream is your brain's attempt to make sense of this activity, often attaching memories, fantasies, or fears to the neural impulses.

It might mean that you are conflicted by the fact that you think that you are spending too much of your life engaged in trivialities rather than pushing yourself to positively contribute to society by becoming actively engaged in meaningful societal projects.

it means you must have taken a muscle relaxer before you went to bed.
